Chemical compositions of essential oils of some Kenyan Ocimum species
(American Journal of Essential Oils and Natural Products, 2019)
The natural aroma of Ocimum species varies, implying that variations in chemical compositions of their
essential oils are likely to be observed. Steam distilled essential oils from leaves and flowers of Ocimum
kenyense, ...
The Susceptibility of Biomphalaria spp. from Mwea Irrigation Scheme in Kenya against Schistosoma mansoni Miracidia Infection
(J. Biomedical Science and Engineering, 2019)
Schistosomiasis as a neglected disease is second to malaria in its adverse effect to public
health and socioeconomics impact in the tropics and sub-tropical of the developing coun tries where 90% of 249 million people ...
Optimizing a Gravid Mosquito Resting Box to Enhance Auto-dissemination of Larvicides under Semi-Field Conditions in Western Kenya
(Journal of Mosquito Research, 2019)
Malaria control strategies are challenged by emergence of insecticide resistance and behavioral changes of the vector.
New vector management tools are required to avert control failure. The aim of this study was to ...
Transformer mineral oil ingestion induces systemic sub-acute toxicity in Wistar rats
(Heliyon, 2019)
We investigated the potential toxicities associated with the sub-acute ingestion of transformer mineral oil (TMO)
at a heated low dose (HLD-50 mg/kg), heated high dose (HHD-500 mg/kg) and unheated high dose (UHD-500
mg/kg) ...
CONCENTRATION OF SELECTED HEAVY METALS IN WATER AND THE CUMMULATIVE EFFECT ON SELECTED ORGANS OF OREO-CHROMIS NILOTICUS AND CLARIAS GARIEPINUS FROM LAKE VICTORIA, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2019)
The presence of heavy metals in aquatic ecosystems has been of great concern be-cause of their toxicity to man when their concentrations are more than the permissi-ble levels. These metals enter the environment through ...
PREVALENCE AND THE EFFECT OF PARASITES ON HAEMATOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF LIVESTOCK IN THE UPPER KERIO VALLEY, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2019)
Livestock remains the mainstay of many communities in Kenya yet its production has been negatively impacted by animal diseases especially parasitic infections. Vector borne haemoparasites and intestinal parasites cause ...
MODELLING AND OPTIMIZATION OF SUBTHRESHOLD LEAKAGE CURRENT IN LOW-POWER, SILICON-BASED, COMPLEMENTARY METAL OXIDE SEMICONDUCTOR (CMOS) DEVICES
(University of Eldoret, 2019)
The trend of process scaling for CMOS technology has made subthreshold leakage reduction a growing concern for submicron circuit designers. Power consumption has become a principle design consideration as device sizes ...
Investigation of Selected Heavy Metal Ions in Irrigation Water, Soil and Managu (Solanum Nigrum) from Homahills, Homabay County, Kenya
(Journal of Health and Environmental Research, 2019)
Levels of selected heavy metals of Mn, Cd, Pb, Zn, Fe and Co were evaluated in irrigation water, soil and managu
(Solanum Nigrum) from Homahills, Homabay County, Kenya. The samples were collected purposively and randomly ...
SEASONALVARIATIONS ON FLAVONOID BIOSYNTHETIC PATHWAY PROCESSES IN Camellia sinensis (L) O Kuntze OF SELECTED KENYAN CULTIVARS
(University of Eldoret, 2019)
Globally, production of black tea has been on an increasing trend. This has posed a challenge on the market prices due to glut in the market. Thus need for diversification of tea products. Flavonoids are good antioxidants ...
The Role of Shell Model in Determining Pairing Interaction in Nuclei
(International Journal of Recent Research Aspects, 2019)
The role of the shell model in pairing interaction in nuclei is investigated by calculating the pairing energies
of O–O (odd–odd), O–E (odd–even), E–E (even–even) and E–O (even–odd) isotopes of four elements namely; 15P, ...
